Organic Uji Gyokuro
Organic Gyokuro (100g 3.53oz)

Description
Our organic Uji gyokuro is grown under shade mats prior to harvesting, and is only harvested once a year. Upon opening the packet for the first time you can sense what you are about to brew will be special. We would describe the flavor as rich and abundant with a sharp biting sweet aftertaste. When brewed correctly you will be in for a very enjoyable moment. It's one of those types of teas which is unforgettable, and will have you returning to drink it time and time again.
Brewing Organic Gyokuro
Organic gyokuro is brewed differently than other organic Japanese green teas. Here at Yuuki-Cha we enjoy three different methods of brewing organic gyokuro. They are (as seen below in the brewing suggestions box):
Gyokuro 3 mins brewing: This brewing method will yield a full, intense, rich, sweet, umami flavored organic gyokuro.
Gyokuro 2 mins brewing: This brewing method will yield a full, intense, biting sweet flavored organic gyokuro.
Gyokuro beginners brewing: This brewing method is the best place for a beginner to start at, and is preferred by many. It will yield a less intense, mellow, sweet flavored organic gyokuro.

It is something special and unforgettable. The way of preparation is very important (thanks for the recommendation) Since the first cup, I come back to this beverage every day.
Gregory C. - 04/08/2008
I have been drinking my gyokuro since I recieved it and I love it. To me it tastes better than the sencha I have tried before. It is not as grassy tasting and somewhat milder. I recommend it completely.

I received my tea within the 7 days as stated. The tea was exactly as described. I will purchase again. Thanks a lot. Andy.
